In the last decade, the 2.4 GHz band of IEEE 802.11 WLANs has become heavily congested due to the explosive increase in demand of Wi-Fi connectivity. With the current deployment of enterprise WLANs, channel switching mechanism continues to exhibit inefficiencies because it cannot adapt to real-time channel condition and the inability to support seamless channel switching. Software Defined Networking (SDN) as an emerging architecture is promising to introduce flexibility and programmability for wireless network management. Leveraging SDN to existing enterprise WLANs, channel switching method can be improved significantly. This paper presents a software-defined enterprise WLAN framework with a load aware automatic channel switching solution, which utilizes AP load and channel interference factor (CIF) to provide seamless channel switching. Two automatic channel switching algorithms named Single Switch (SS) and Double Switch (DS) are proposed to improve the overall user experience and the experience of users with highest traffic load respectively. Experiment results demonstrate that our solution can efficiently improve user experience in terms of jitter, transmission delay and network throughout when compared to the conventional channel switching mechanism.

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) based on IEEE 802.11s have emerged as one of the prominent technologies in multi-hop communications. However, the deployment of WMNs suffers from serious interference problem which severely limits the system capacity. Using multiple radios for each mesh router over multiple channels, the interference can be reduced and improve system capacity. Nevertheless, interference cannot be completely eliminated due to the limited number of available channels. An effective approach to mitigate interference is to apply dynamic channel switching (DCS) in WMNs. Conventional DCS schemes trigger channel switching if interference is detected or exceeds a predefined threshold which might cause unnecessary channel switching and long protocol overheads. In this paper, a P-learning based dynamic switching algorithm known as learning automaton (LA)-based DCS algorithm is proposed. Initially, an optimal channel for communicating node pairs is determined through the learning process. Then, a novel switching metric is introduced in our LA-based DCS algorithm to avoid unnecessary initialization of channel switching. Hence, the proposed LA-based DCS algorithm enables each pair of communicating mesh nodes to communicate over the least loaded channels and consequently improve network performance.

We fabricated the devices of TFT type with the amorphous chalcogenide channel. A single device consists of a Pt source and drain, a Ti glue layer and a GeSe chalcogenide channel layer on SiO2/Si substrate which worked as the gate. We confirmed the drain current with variations of gate bias and channel size. The I-V curves of the switching device are shown in Fig. 1. The channel of the device always contains amorphous state, but can be programmed into two states with different threshold voltages (Vth). In each state, the device shows a normal Ovonic switching behavior. Below Vth (OFF state), the current is low, but once the biasing voltage is greater than Vth (ON state), the current increases dramatically and the ON-OFF ratio is about 4 order. Based on the experiments, we contained the conclusion that the gate voltage can enhance the drain current, and the electric field by the drain voltage affects the amorphous-amorphous transition. The switching device always contains the amorphous state and never exhibits the Ohmic behavior of the crystalline state.

Electrical characteristics of LDMOS power device with LDD(Lightly Doped Drain) structure is studied with variation of the region of channel and LDD. The channel in LDMOSFET encloses a junction-type source and is believed to be an important parameter for determining the circuit operation of CMOS inverter. Two-dimensional TCAD MEDICI simulation is used to study hot-carrier effect, on-resistance Ron, breakdown voltage, and transient switching characteristic. The voltage-transfer characteristics and on-off switching properties are studied as a function of the channel length and doping levels. The digital logic levels of the output and input voltages are analyzed from the transfer curves and circuit operation. Study indicates that drain current significantly depends on the channel length rather than the LDD region, while the switching transient time is almost independent of the channel length. The high and low logic levels of the input voltage showed a strong dependency on the channel length, while the lateral substrate resistance from a latch-up path in the CMOS inverter was comparable to that of a typical CMOS inverter with a guard ring.

The switching characteristics of MOS-Controlled Thyristor(MCT) is studied with variation of the channel length and impurity concentration in ON and OFF FET channel. The proposed MCT power device has the lateral structure and P-epitaxial layer in substrate. Two dimensional MEDICI simulator and PSPICE simulator are used to study the latch-up current and forward voltage-drop from the characteristics of I-V and the switching characteristics with variation of channel length and impurity concentration in P and N channel. The channel length and N impurity concentration of the proposed MCT power device show the strong affect on the transient characteristics of current and power. The N channel length affects only on the OFF characteristics of power and anode current, while the N doping concentration in P channel affects on the ON and OFF characteristics.

이 논문은 직교 주파수 분할 다중화 시스템에 사용하는 공간 주파수 블록 코딩에서의 부호 반전 채널 스위칭 알고리즘을 제안한다. 소스 데이터를 다른 안테나로 보내는 경우에는 수신기는 바뀐 그 채널에 적합하도록 결합 방법을 바꾸어야 한다. 만일 미리 정의된 채널 스위칭 시퀀스를 모르는 수신기라면, 수신한 데이터를 정확하게 복호할 수 없게 된다. 채널 스위칭을 위한 송신 데이터를 바꾸는 경우에는 데이터 심볼들을 공간 주파수 블록 코딩 형식에 맞추어서 바꾸어야 한다. 이 논문에서는 송신 안테나 간의 데이터 심볼들을 바꾸는 것이 아닌 단지 부호 반전 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법을 사용하면 다른 결합 방법을 발생시킴으로써 수신기에서 간단한 암호화로 동작함을 보였다.

In centralized control sensor network, tree-based multi-channel communication overcomes the recurrent channel switching and makes possible to transfer data simultaneously from different sources. In our paper, we propose a greedy algorithm named as NIT (Non-Intersecting Tree) that the trees can avoid inter-tree interference. We also propose channel switching technique by which trees can avoid link failure or area blocking due to external interference locally without rerunningthe algorithm and without interrupting the whole network. At first we applied our algorithm for a random topology and then we evaluate the performance of the network using NS-2 simulator. The results show that with the increasing of channel the throughputand delivery ratio are increased significantly. We got better performance than a using a recent proposed Tree-based Multi-Channel Protocol (TMCP).

본 논문은 제주 정낭 채널 code I, II에 이은 "수신기 협력을 이용한 간섭 디코딩 기반 3-user NOR 스위칭 채널"을 다루고 있다. 제주 정낭 코드 (Jeju Jong Nang code) 는 스위칭 회로를 "1" 또는 "0" 의 이진 심볼로 해석하는 인류 최초의 HBCC (human binary coded communication)로 여겨진다. 본 논문에서는 3-user 정낭 NOR 스위칭 채널 기반 수신기 협력 간섭 디코딩의 실제적인 예를 소개한다. 제안한 시스템 모델은 TUJN (three user Jong Nang) NOR 스위칭 on-off 로직과 3-user 결정적 (deterministic) NOR 스위칭 채널 및 수신기 협력 GIC (Gaussian interference channel)로 구성되어 있다. 따라서 이 모델은 Shannon의 이진 시스템과 erasure 채널 용량에도 잘 맞는다. 또한 자유도를 증가시키기 위해 각 협력 수신기가 이웃 수신기들을 도울 수 있다는 의미의 결정적 채널을 얻기 위한 3-user Gaussian 간섭 디코딩의 응용 예를 제시하고, 이웃 수신기 협력을 통한 최적 간섭 완화 sum rate이 7 bits에 달한다.

정보통신기술의 발전과 모바일 기기 사용의 생활화로 인해 최근 많은 소비자들이 멀티채널 쇼핑(multi-channel shopping)이라는 새로운 쇼핑 행태를 보이고 있다. 온라인 쇼핑이 등장한 이후, 온라인 매장에서 상품을 구매하기 전 오프라인 매장에서 상품을 먼저 확인하는 쇼루밍(showrooming) 형태의 멀티채널 쇼핑이 한 때 대세를 이루었으나, 최근에는 스마트폰, 태블릿 PC, 스마트워치 등 스마트 기기 사용의 폭발적 증가와 옴니채널(omni-channel) 전략으로 대표되는 오프라인 채널의 대대적 반격으로 인해 오프라인 매장에서 상품을 구매하기 전 온라인(혹은 모바일)으로 정보를 먼저 확인하는 웹루밍(webrooming) 현상이 도드라지게 나타나 온라인 소매업자를 위협하고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 소비자의 온라인 쇼핑에서 웹루밍으로의 쇼핑전환 의도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하는 것이 의미가 있음에도 불구하고, 기존 대부분의 선행연구는 싱글채널(single-channel) 혹은 멀티채널 쇼핑 자체에만 초점을 맞추고 있다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 밀고-당기기-이주이론(push-pull-mooring theory)을 바탕으로 소비자의 온라인 채널 쇼핑이 웹루밍 형태의 쇼핑으로 전환되는 과정을 상품정보 탐색과 구매행위로 각각 구분하여 그 영향을 실증하였다. 연구모형을 검증하기 위하여, 웹루밍 경험이 있는 수도권 소재 대학생을 대상으로 280개의 설문 표본을 수집하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 현업 마케팅 종사자에게 멀티채널 소비자들을 관리하는 데 있어 실무적인 시사점을 제공함과 동시에, 향후 다양한 형태의 멀티채널 쇼핑전환 연구로의 확장에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
